Collodion Process - Chemical Reactions Involved in The Process

Chemical Reactions Involved in The Process

Reactions involved in the collodion processes are the same as those that apply other photographic processes. The iodide, chloride or bromide salts in the collodion react with silver nitrate to produce silver iodide, silver chloride or silver bromide. These are unstable to light, and are chemically changed upon exposure. They are reduced to metallic silver by the developer.

Famous quotes containing the words chemical, reactions, involved and/or process:

    We do not want actions, but men; not a chemical drop of water, but rain; the spirit that sheds and showers actions, countless, endless actions.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    In this Journal, my pen is a delicate needle point, tracing out a graph of temperament so as to show its daily fluctuations: grave and gay, up and down, lamentation and revelry, self-love and self-disgust. You get here all my thoughts and opinions, always irresponsible and often contradictory or mutually exclusive, all my moods and vapours, all the varying reactions to environment of this jelly which is I.
    W.N.P. Barbellion (1889–1919)

    As she laughed I was aware of becoming involved in her laughter
    and being part of it, until her teeth were only accidental stars with
    a talent for squad-drill.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    To me, the whole process of being a brushstroke in someone else’s painting is a little difficult.
    Madonna [Madonna Louise Ciccione] (b. 1959)
